Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module

@sdetweil Ah no worries was out for some materials to build the mirror frame myself haha

[sdetweil]

@alyx ok, the crash is because u have a bad position for selfieshoot in config.js

	module: "MMM-Selfieshot",
    position: "bottom",

bottom is not valid

https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/configuration.html#example

separate lines are my addition to the view

The location of the module in which the module will be loaded. Possible values are  
top_bar,
top_left, 
top_center, 
top_right, 
upper_third, 
middle_center, 
lower_third, 
bottom_left, 
bottom_center, 
bottom_right, 
bottom_bar, 
fullscreen_above, and 
fullscreen_below.

I opened issue to document changes to protect against crashing

@sdetweil OK back working now with that thanks! Although the conf for my pm2 seems to be not working anymore, I think I saw a similar issue somewhere in the comments here?

Also I cant get the conf page anymore cause it can no longer get /modules/MMM-Config/review

?

eh?? what conf for pm2? where?

pm2 setup is done once at install (if you use my script and it just points to the ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

Also I cant get the conf page anymore cause it can no longer get /modules/MMM-Config/review

eh??

http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-Config/review

(the MM config says localhost, SO the url MUST be localhost to match…

anything else
(ip or name)
will fail

@sdetweil Before I was able to connect my alexa as a smart device with pm2 but now its not showing at all on alexa is what i mean.

Yep that the link I use but I get the the home page and its the same blank interface as before with no modules tab or anything? Like I just used it to make the latest conf file so I know it works some how haha

[Alyx]

@alyx ok screw that its working now all of a sudden ahaha

The alexa thing still isnt working tho

[sdetweil]

@alyx i;m not sure what u mean by the alexaControl problem

u set it up once and then do Alexa Discover Devices.

they are there forever …(until u manually delete them)

now… IF the machine IP changes (like across a reboot)

then the ip address that alexa saved is no longer valid and alexa can’t find them
it does NOT save dns NAME, only IP address.

[Alyx]

@sdetweil
Yes thats what I mean I haven’t changed anything like that although. I just used the script and the generated config file. It seems alexa can no longer find the devices and is displaying them as offline

[sdetweil]

@alyx the pi address changed (like powered off overnight and the ip lease expired

I set fixed (reservation) addresses for all my pi devices in my network router to avoid this problem

only way to fix is to delete and rediscover

alexa.amazon.com
smarthome tab
devices
at the bottom is forget all
(or u can delete them 1 by 1)
